I live in a corrupt country. From Education to health, agriculture, economy, ministry, administration, law and order and what not. The list is huge and its from the very beginning. right after the independence. The sad fact is people are utterly confused, what to do, whom to follow. because whomever they trust, it always betrayed.
“Children living in urban slums are forced to do dangerous and exploitative work without being able to attend school. They face constant threat of eviction, even though they live under the most challenging conditions in ramshackle dwellings and overcrowded settlements that are acutely vulnerable to disease and disaster,” a report states.
“Many of these children grow up in impoverished rural areas where it is common to travel to seek work in order to supplement family income, whether for part of each year, during lean periods or for longer durations. At least four million children are thought to migrate seasonally, whether by themselves or with their families, in India alone.
In eight cities in India from 2005 to 2006 levels of under-nutrition in urban areas continued to be very high. At least a quarter of urban children under five were stunted, indicating that they had been undernourished for some time.
The report notes that adolescent girls and women continue to suffer from discrimination and lack of empowerment in the country as 47 per cent of women are married by the time they turn 18 years old. As per 2010 data used in the report, 22 per cent women in India give birth before they turn 18. Only 41 per cent women initiate early breastfeeding.
In a patriarchal society where women are vulnerable to exploitation and violence, it is hardly surprising that many women justify their husbands beating them. Fifty-four per cent women justify wife beating as against 51 men. The numbers are higher for adolescent males at 57 per cent and 53 per cent for adolescent women.

Unity in diversity is a fake term which has been used in this country very frequently. People's religious views always differ them from each other and they couldn't ever stay together happily. The more I get closer to my friends who are from a different religion I came to know how hard it is for them to even live in this country. Discrimination is a disease and this crazy society is consuming it with much ease.
Two Muslim boy who goes through many turmoil while searching for a room for rent in the city. They came over lot of discrimination that they never experienced before. They are good students with dreams and ambitions. But they were not prepared for the harsh reality of the society.
This story is about the other person who belong from another religion, was helping them to find a room for rent, but experienced a cruel social belief.

In a heinous crime, seventeen pups were found stuffed in a plastic bag along with an adult dog-probably the mother. They were found in this terrible condition from the parking lot of NRS Medical college in Kolkata. The incident came to light when a video went viral on social media. Two women could be seen thrashing the puppies. The puppies can be seen quivering and moaning with pain.
A third-year female nursing student and another woman are believed to have clubbed to death 16 puppies inside the campus of the state-run N R S Medical College in the city in an incident that was filmed and went viral, horrifying and outraging anyone who saw the clip.
“We have got a name. We have also communicated this to the principal of the nursing college and to the police,” said Daipayan Biswas, deputy superintendent of the hospital leading the probe.

At least 49 people were killed and 20 seriously injured, in a hate-filled terror attack targeting two mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch.
The shooter, identified as 28-year-old Australian Right Wing citizen Brenton Harrison Tarrant, has been charged with murder. Authorities found an 87-page manifesto filled with anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim ideas.
According to the latest census figures, Muslims make up about 1.1% of New Zealand's population of 4.25 million.
Numbers rose sharply as New Zealand took in refugees from various war-torn countries since the 1990s.
Before the attacks took place, the gunman reportedly published an Islamophobic manifesto on Twitter. He then live-streamed his rampage, according to an analysis by the AFP news agency.
So what is Islamphobia?
- Islamophobia is the fear, hatred of, or prejudice against, the Islamic religion or Muslims generally, especially when seen as a geopolitical force or the source of terrorism.
